Subject: Snapshot re Autism in schools review
Dear Sir/Madam
Attached is a snapshot of students in my classes. As | work in a non-MESH subject in a secondary context
that is not considered practical, | currently receive no EA time or support for any of the individuals or
groups.
When students with special needs were initially integrated into mainstream classes, support was a given. These conditions have eroded over time for a number of reasons including lack of staff, which has in turn affected the educational service teachers can deliver in public schools.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Kind regards
Regards,
DATA
The following information is from my current classes in Visual Art. It has been decided by the Exec team that EA time be allocated to MESH subjects only, because that’s where parents want to see support for students. This poses an equity issue and is not based on the needs of the students, classes or teachers across all learning contexts.
